1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveThe aim of this study was to adapt the Estonian version of The Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and test its psychometric properties.

methodsThe original OKS questionnaire was translated into Estonian using the forward and back-translation method recommended in the literature. The face validity of the Estonian OKS was then tested. 150 consecutive patients who had undergone total knee replacement (TKR) received the Estonian version of OKS, the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36), and a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain by mail twice with an interval of 1 month. OKS total score, its functional, and pain subscales were examined. Floor and ceiling effects were assessed. Reliability was evaluated by measuring test-retest reliability and internal consistency. Construct validity was measured by examining the correlation of OKS, its functional and pain subscales with VAS and the subscales of SF-36.

resultsThe Estonian version of OKS was assessed equivalent to the original and was satisfactorily accepted by patients on face validity testing. The Estonian OKS performed well on psychometric testing with good test-retest reliability (Spearman's rho 0.8887, P < 0.001, for the overall score) and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha for the overall score 0.9353 and 0.9177 on the first and second assessment, respectively). It showed expected correlations with SF-36 subscales (strongest with the physical functioning and pain subscales and weakest with the emotional functioning subscale) and a strong correlation (Spearman's rho -0.8618 and -0.6967 on the first and second assessment respectively) with VAS for pain. A small proportion of patients demonstrated a ceiling value on both assessments, whereas a floor effect was not evident.

conclusionThe Estonian version of OKS is a reliable and valid instrument providing a standardized measure of patient-reported outcome for evaluating the results of TKR. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, Prognostic Study.
